Thanks for the reply. I'm very active, 67 y/o and had both my knees replaced this year, also 3 months apart. The first went just great. Swelling came down in two weeks, pain other than rehab was nil after 2 weeks. Second TKR also went well, but rehab pain lasted five weeks, couldn't climb stairs w/o pain until six weeks.
I never got my blood checked, but my workouts now are more sluggish. Because of the tourniquet I don't think there was much blood loss, and it would be better now anyway. I'm back with my trainer and just feeling the strain of not having been in the gym for over a month.
